Yes, I hadn’t realized it was so literal. [ which. He probably wouldn’t have admitted to having it either if he did. so! sometimes u gotta protect yourself.
to the proposal, he hums, an interested noise. ] I can’t say I’ve been entirely forthcoming about what I’ve had in the past for the same reason. Can’t go revealing all my cards on the first date, hm? [ fufu. but, playfulness aside, he pauses to consider. ]
Let’s see.... [ thinking... ] There’s one power I know of out and about that I don’t know the function of. Based on the numbers and the functions of what I do know, I’d say that you could have that—- the “Dreamweaver”, for the sake of the wild card — but I think it’s more likely to be the last Oliver Twist.
Most of them could be used defensively, but the Oliver Twist is the best one to keep in your back pocket, I believe. I’m one of the few who knows what it does despite not having it.
Then, I simply must insist that you use all that cleverness of yours to make it to that date, hm? No matter what happens. [ as they’re reaching the simulation room, he pulls the door open and holds it for her. ]
And I’ll do my best to do the same, of course. I’d hate to stand you up. [ it’s a date! Let’s go blow some shit up. ]
he's gonna go futz with the simulation panel a bit. he can guess a stand is probably like... a food stand so that's what she's gonna end up seeing, a semi-ancient chinese food stand. close enough? as well as a couple of suits of black iron armor, shining a sleek black. one of them is smaller than the other! he's still thinking, trying to create the ideal simulation, though he's listening for medb's words, too. ]
"Again", hm? I just keep meeting people here who've been in the grave.
[ She watches him create things, and she doesn't care that it's not accurate to what she wanted. It was said for the joke that he doesn't have the reference for.
The black iron armor is intriguing, and she gets a closer look at the smaller one. ]
Mm. It shouldn't as common as it is. I don't know if that makes us lucky or unlucky.
[ thoughtful, for a moment, as he finishes up, giving them a decent, open air setting for explosives, and like three more little food carts. close enough. ]
I think, if you're here, it makes you determined. [ is the answer he finally decides on. it's how he would take it, anyway - gu yun's never died, but he's climbed out of enough near death experiences in his life, that he'd feel the same. ] A survivor seems a cliche answer, but that assumes one would simply survive and not thrive.
The determination is what matters, aside. [ as he steps away from the simulation machine podium and makes his way over to the larger set of armor. ] Those are the sorts of people I quite like to surround myself with.
We can fire them from here, if you'd like, but it does take the effect away if you're not wearing it. Not nearly as fun.
[ In a way, that's a sweet sentiment. Servants can usually only become Servants after they die, barring a few very special exceptions. She knows Gu Yun doesn't know that, and it's not something she goes out of her way to tell anyone. Death comes for everyone, as long-lived as she can now be. ]
Well, no one has ever been able to claim that I'm not ambitious and that I don't aim to thrive.
[ She picks up the armor. ]
And no one has ever seen me turn away from having more fun.

[ She smiles. She gets it obviously, considering how much she does and doesn't reveal at trials. She is more forthcoming one-on-one.
After a moment of deliberation: ]
I don't have Oliver Twist.
no subject
And Dreamweaver? Or shall I have to be teased and tantalized until Friday to get a confirmation or denial?
no subject
If our date today is fun, I'll tell you on a Friday date without reservation.

[ Sweeping into the Simulation Room. Time to explode shit! ]
I really am trying my best to make it out here alive. Dying again wouldn't be any fun.
[ can't wait to be dead in 45 minutes. ]
